Semester Negotiation and Dispute Resolution
This virtual and highly interactive semester-length seminar explores the ways that people negotiate to create value and resolve disputes. Designed to improve understanding of negotiation theory and build negotiation skills, the curriculum integrates negotiation research from several academic fields with experiential learning exercises.
“This course changed my life and how I deal with conflicts, both professionally and personally. It made me realize how personal negotiations can be, and how turning them into mutual gains can be a matter of both honest self-awareness and genuine empathy towards all parties involved.”

“When I joined the class, I was set in my ways of negotiation. I did not think the class would provide any new insights as I have been an attorney for nearly 25 years. From the first class, I was thoroughly impressed with the content and instructors. I was curious and engaged and eagerly anticipated the weekly classes. In 12 short weeks, I learned more than I had in my previous 25 years as a lawyer. PON can teach an old dog new tricks.”
Thomas A. Behe
Senior Attorney
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
“As a seasoned leader in both international and domestic complex corporate negotiations, I found this course very useful. The topics were varying and directly relevant to driving for mutual benefit. The interactive nature of the class and the staff provides a perfect space to get candid and unbiased feedback and uncover blind spots. The material was candid and applicable immediately. I would highly recommend this course no matter the season in your career.”
“I highly recommend the course — it delivered tremendous value in a short amount of time. I gained practical, transferable skills that are immediately useful across both professional and personal settings. The content was well-structured, engaging, and directly applicable.”
